Hold no, but what's that noise from my upstairs? Couldn't
possibly be a fantastic stand up comedian, writer, comedian sketch
one of my favorite sketch comedians. Actually low key. Before
this episode, I was basically running down some of my
favorite moments from this man's sketch team, because look, we
all came out of the muck A lot of us

(06:12):
came out of the muck of like twenty tens YouTube
sketch comedy. Okay, making some terrible decisions comedically, but you
know what we learned, We grew, and now we were
the beautiful butterflies you see before you will are listening
to now, please welcome today's guest Alan strictly will.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yo, Hey, what's up everybody? My favorite pie is key lime.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Hey, if you seem Blake, don't ask him what?

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, Pie, there's other things to break the good and
you have my fate, I would say, not just swuffing
your feathers. Here A top three favorite joke in the
history of comedy for me is your liquor before beer joke.
And I know, I know, I know, like you wrote
it a while ago, but it's I quote it to
people giving you what I started to give you credit.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Hey, Hey, Hey, I don't care whoever whoever needs to
use this stuff use it.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Who do you think is gonna Who do you think
is gonna deliver it better? Is it gonna be Blake yourself?
You back yourself to.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Hey, And if the listeners want to check out that joke,
you can find it on my on my stand up
album ran through there.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
It is okay, somebody I don't know this joke. So
I want to hear one of Blake Wexer's top three
jokes of all the time. Maybe I'll try to do it.
I'll butcher it.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
And let's do you want to do at the same time?

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, at the same time? Yes, here we go, all right?

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Wait, hold on, how do I usually start it. It's
like it's like, if anyone's playing on drinking tonight, I
forget how I started actually, because it's like, hey, you know,
just just a piece of advice for anyone that might
be drinkler tonight. Uh uh, beer for liquor, never been

(08:31):
spicker red wine before I am a full.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Alcohol and alcohol there I go.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
I have a problem that rhyming can't solve.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
I forgot that tag. It's so good.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Yeah, So all that and more you can find.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
For the rest of the show, because we're all.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Apple cheese, the apple cheesecake, Apple, the app from.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Shit well Alan, thank you so much for of course.
Uh and yeah, like to you one of my favorite
internet sketch comedy videos that look it's for the vaults,
though it's for those that were there at that time
for the anyway, let's talk about what the news is
gonna be. Dems, the Democrats, Guys, you're all gonna get
fucking primaried if you don't fucking do something pretty soon,

(09:29):
or maybe not. I don't know, because I don't know
where people's calculus is at in terms of what we're
going to allow to continue to happen. Uh, But anyway,
we'll touch on that. We'll also touch o. Candice Owens
has been going at Charlie Kirk's turning Point USA and
Erica Kirk since he was killed. All kinds of the
stuff she's saying now has reached new levels of absurdity,

(09:51):
and she's finally been hit with like a cease and
desist from Turning Point from Erica Kirk because she was
basically starting to say that Charlie Kirk was it actually
X men basically and what's going to charge away?

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, well done, well done.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
We'll played Sir Golf claps around. Wow, and he got
that putt for Birdie amazing. So we'll talk about just
some of those theories because they're literally we're talking about
like actual ship from the comic book is being uttered
somewhat seriously, I don't even know.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
And then we're gonna talk about fucking Chris Pratt's got
a new fucking Kappa Ganda AI thriller out and critics,
thank god, are already questioning it to be like, is
this already the worst film the year and it's not
even February.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
So we'll talk about that and plenty more. But first, hell,
what's something from your shot history? That's everything about who
you are, what you're into.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Let's see. Literally just today I had to google how
to cut a key because a friend left a Kiwi
in my car. Yeah, so this is the type of
life I live. I like leaving Kiwi's in my car.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
You're a good friend. You're giving rides to people who
have like fresh fruit, nothing like the people I give
the rides to.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
You know, it was it was it's a lot of new.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Zeale person okay, sorry.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
No, no, yeah, good.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
I yeah, I had a little the little Harry Kiwi.
Yeah and again not person from from you, but I
uh yeah, I remember loving this when I was a kid,
and I don't think i've had Kiwi and like I
don't know twenty like a long time. So the last
time I had Kiwi, I was not que the person
in charge of preparing it. So I like, I love

(11:48):
like I literally don't know how to do this. So
yeah that's what I did. That was.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
I had a similar thing too when I bought kiwis recently,
like for my little kid who's never had it, was like,
oh ship, dude, this was never had a Kiwi and
then I the same thing, like, I've never fucking peeled
one since I was I've never because I'm baby, and
my mom was peeling it to the point where like
I just cut it in half and I'm like, we're
scooping it out with a spoon.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
That's a that's a way. Yeah, that's a way.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
That's it's so different. I remember eating like peeled Kiwi
like as a kid. I was like, dumb, Sorry, dude,
I know most parents try and give their kids like
a better childhood than they had. I'm fucking up, dude,
eat this with a spoon. Sorry. Man, It's but it's good.
The fucking texture though, too. Everything about a key going
on I really like, Yeah, there's a lot going on.
There's going on. It's interesting.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
It got hitched to strawberry in that way where like,
you know, like artificial flavors, everything's like key. You never
get straight Kiwi flavored. It's always Keywi strawberry.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Oh. I found never thought about that. That was I
remember at a time Kiwi Strawberry was like the king
of flavors in the mid nineties to early two thousands.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
I mean Kiwi strawberry and blue raspberry were.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Just like always also my favorite flavor of blunt wrap
I would buy at the liquor store too. There was
a time was like Rocket the Kiwi strawberry wrap. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not proud of it, but you know, it is what
it is, uh Alan, what's some you thing is underrated?

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Underrated? I'm gonna say this, And I know I've always
been a big fan of it, but I feel like,
especially in Soco area, the Angelus National Forest, I feel like,
and I in a way, maybe I'm kind of glad
because even like the popular trails there, even on like
a weekend, pretty sparse. Ye, But if you live in

(13:32):
so Cal, the Adventure Pass that you need to park
the car in the forest, I think it's like maybe
maybe twenty bucks, maybe a little bit more if you
use it twice, it like pays for itself.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
And so I've just been I've been trying to go
at least once or twice a month over the past
couple of months, especially after a rain, and.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
It's just like smells good.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
It just smells good. It's beautiful, everyone's happy to be
out there.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
So I'll say that the Angelist and just in general,
I mean, I mean, I guess when the guy and
shut down we do. That's always what I think of
when the government shows that. I'm like the park, yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah. Is Mount Baldy part of that.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
I believe?

Speaker 2 (14:10):
So yeah cool. Yeah that's a good hike. Basically, like
all the mountains around the city are mostly the Angels
National Forest.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
That's awesome. Yeah, the same Gabriel's I think. But yeah, yeah,
it's just awesome. And it's like it's also it's like
a lot of these hikes too. It's like you straight
up like, oh, you'll like cross a little stream, you'll
see like seven waterfalls. Right, It's just it's just awesome.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, it's great.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Oh and it's cool too because it's like it's also
where like dipshit rich guys like drive their cars really fast,
so you'll be like you'll be like in the total
serenity of nature and they just you're like.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, years uh ship yeah, get out in nature, folks.
Get out there, you know, just like RFK said, get
out there, climb our rock awkwardly in your jeans, just

(15:13):
take it all. It alan what something you think is overrady.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Okay, I don't want to stir up anything here. But
and I love and I want to say this with
I love Carrie Coon. And I thought the first season
was phenomenal. The left the leftovers, No, that's okay, the
Leftovers I've only ever heard like, oh my god, it's awesome,
and like the reviews are great, and the first season

(15:39):
is like a perfect season on television. And then there's
just a big like literally just a geographical like they
they just move locations in the second season, and my like,
I I like, I stopped watching it. I'm kind of
a master to be sold on it. I did a
lot of people that that can speak to it because
I I really like it. And I don't know, maybe

(16:00):
I was busy at like a juncture where like I
missed out on something, but I'm right there with you.
It got way too boying, Okay, thank you, thank you.
I'm not I thought you.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Were gonna say Guilded Age was overrated, because how dare
you come after the Gilded Age? That's the that was
the joke I was going for. But you meant the Leftovers. Yeah,
you can only see a guy drown himself so many
times to cross over.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
And that was the part I liked. Actually, that was
the only part I thought that was the saving grace.
I'm like, will he drown himself more more and using Yeah,
I think they did switch show runners too.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
After That's what it was too well and also too
It's like it kind of is this was just a
time when, like, you know, we're still in the wake
of Lost probably being the biggest show right that that
had a huge footprint. So it's like there were a
lot of shows where it's like the whole thing was
like you don't know what's going on, and it's like no, no,

(16:59):
but we do want to. We kind of want to
be some sort of yeah. It's like no, no, but
we don't. We don't even know.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
It's like, oh, that's right, I forgot because the second
season just goes to that town in Texas, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. That's weird. Although I'm like I think I
got through because I'm a completionist and once like you
tell me there's a mystery box thing, I'm like, well, fuck,
you know, right, fucking watch alone.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
I think I would have if if the pit and
industry didn't just come back, I probably would have kept.
I was like, I really just how's instrutching, Oh, I
love industry. I mean I was, I was kind of
watching I was kind of watching it before and and
and and honestly, it kind of I think the show
has even said they're like they're like, yeah, we kind
of just vibe or whatever. It's like the first season.

(17:44):
The first season feels very like we're soapy. We got
a lot of young, hot people. It's like euphoria succession.
But then there's an episode in the last season, in
season three, it's like a bottle neck episode. I think
it's called White Mischief. I can't remember the top of
my head, but it starts like the character RESHI. It
basically it's this guy that has like a gambling problem,

(18:05):
and it is basically like a nineteen seventies like Cassavetti's movie.
Like in this one episode of television, the actor I
can't remember the name of his top of my head,
but he's doing like nineteen seventies al Pacino level acting
in this one episode, and it's like Circo. It's literally
it's literally just one of the best like episodes of anything.

(18:27):
It stands alone. So I always say, like watch that.
If you like that, then give it a shot. But
it's you know, it's it's it's prestige. It's that prestige
HBO stuff where it's like, you know, we've got to.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
I wonder how I wonder how soon the HBO name
is also just gonna get completely fucked over by like
oligarchs owning that shit or like they're I mean.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
It already kind of happened and it kind of withstood it.
So it's like, I don't. I mean, it is kind
of funny when you're just like, I.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Guess, like when they're like this, there needs to be
a new series on HBO called Malania and me right
right right what I mean, and they're like, oh my god,
you're using the fucking brand to like prestige wash right.
But anyway, yeah, enough about that, Thanks for that. The
Leftover Season two overrated, underrated, the Forest. All right, let's

(19:14):
take a quick break and when we come back news
and we're back. God the Democrats. Look, many of you
probably seen the image of a fucking five year old

(19:37):
named Liam Ramos being detained by the Eistappo. They used
him as bait to try and get his father, and
this is a tactic I've seen him use at least
two other times on video, which is the most dehumanizing
shit I can imagine. Like it's like the kind of
shit you seen like a fucking dinosaur movie where they're like,
get the baby and then the mother will come out

(19:59):
and and we will capture them. It's like the exact
same fucking logic, and it's just fucking like, I don't
know anyone who looks at the image, it's fucking maddening. Okay,
it's a little boy with a Pokemon beanie on and
a fucking goon holding onto him by his backpack straps
like as he like faces a fucking suburban to get
whisked away. And so if you look at that image
of he'll nothing get fucked. So what happened was they

(20:22):
abducted this kid and his father as they got home
from his school, and then they made the little boy
knock on his own door and asked to be let
in quote in order to see if anyone else was home,
essentially using him as bait. So they're like, okay, send
the kid up there in a knock and then maybe
we can nab somebody. This second, they opened the door
for a child, his brother, Liam's brother got home from

(20:44):
middle school twenty minutes later, but it was too late.
His family had already been destroyed, and his father and
brother are now in an ICE camp in Texas. To note,
not that it matters to this administration of the people
that think this is acceptable. The family entered legally and
they were granted entry under an asylum claim. But again
that means fuck all, because the point of ICE is
to basically terrorize people of color into not going outside

(21:06):
and or just being completely disappeared, and also terrorizing white
people into not fighting back, because that's the other part
that there's two there's two functions of this that they
really want to do, because while white people may not
be the focus of apprehensions, there're certainly when they come
out to resist this, they are also being taught lessons
through violence. So it's it's all just a fucking mess.
So that brings us to the Democrats, right, We're like,

(21:27):
we're going further and further down. What's going on. We'll
ask Hakeem Jeffries. Okay, the current minority leader in the House.
Right now, there's a funding bill with a whole bunch
of money for DHS and by extension ICE in it,
and so maybe start there and fucking try everything you
can to block that bill from going through. But again
those would be the actions of a functioning opposition party.

(21:51):
So Jeffries has like talked tough in public about this
bill and how like, you know, even like with the
they did some alterations. We're like, we'll give the ice
owns more training. It's like they already violate the law
every day, Like what is the point of the training,
Like okay, okay, body cams hmm, and you're like, get
the fuck out of here, okay, okay, if you like,

(22:12):
what if we like mark some of the vehicles too,
or something like no, get no, no. But again, and
so Hakeem Jeffreys is taking the position of like he's like, well,
this is unacceptable and we have to resist this. However,
in private, he's told Democrats he is not going to
be pressuring, he's not gonna be whipping votes, as they say,
he's not been pressuring the people, the Democrats in office

(22:34):
to vote against it, because again I think he's playing
the thing of like.

Speaker 5 (22:38):
Well, you know some people in vulnerable swing districts that
you know, they got to be able to make their
own decisions. So you know that that we want to
be able to do that, And I'm like, what what
is the fucking point.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Of having these districts at all? If the whole if
again we use that as an excuse for no resistance.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
And also it's like if you can't do it anything
with what's going on right now, like what do you do?
What are you doing?

Speaker 2 (23:04):
What are you talking about? It's so fucking I just
I mean again, it's because the culture of politicians that
have entered office for the last half century have just
been opportunists who can line their own pockets or just
be you know, do revolving doorshit have another career after
you leave office. They're you know, there's only like a
handful of people who are actually there who like give

(23:25):
a fuck about their constituents. So again, they could put
pressure on everyone to do it. But I also get
that the simple math, the simple calculus of Congress means
that Dems don't have the votes because they're in the minority. However,
there's so many GOP members going down with illness, death, whatever,
they only have a two vote majority right now. So

(23:48):
if you are all lockstep, maybe you can create some
kind of pressure. But again, they aren't interested in even
doing that, and again, I think the thing that's really
frustrating is most people, most you know people who are
now looking at all the ice invasions and shit and
looking at the Democrats being like, what are you doing.
It's that people on the street are already doing a lot.

(24:08):
They're already doing everything in their powers they can to
try to stop it, whether that's blowing whistles, helping relatives,
community members get to school, maybe bringing them groceries so
they don't have to risk being outside and being seen
by these people. People are doing what they can to
resist this at every fucking turn. A lot of people

(24:29):
are so why the fuck aren't the fucking politicians. I
think that's the big disconnect. It's like, well, I'm doing
I'm not a politician, so I don't I don't have
the power to investigate or do these other things, but
I'm doing what I can as a person to try
and either speak out or support other people. And I
think that disconnect. The Democrats, I think are really just like, oh,
thank god, we're not the Republicans. But I'm hoping that

(24:49):
enough anger gets to the point with the voters that
Democrats depend on that they're like, this is so not enough,
and that that feels a little bit like a fever dream,
because I'm there's a lot of people who just want
to quote, go back to normal, and I think that's
like the one thing I've thought about with this administration
is that clearly the old ways are done, for better

(25:11):
or worse, and while everything that we know is being destroyed,
there that is the possibility for something new to come
out of it. Now there's a version that's new, and
that it's like, oh, this is newly more fucked up
than I could have even imagined. Or maybe people have
enough of an understanding, have been horrified by what they've
seen enough that they understand what it means to be

(25:32):
a person who even has a vote in Congress. And
I'm not trying to say that, you know, electoral politics
are gonna be the fucking saving grace of this place,
because I don't think it is. However, there also needs
to be a way to have people who will actually
function as representatives for their constituents to be in that
place as just a small part of this whole pie.
So I don't know. I mean, I think that the

(25:53):
people should just remember just because these Democrats aren't Republicans
doesn't mean they want a better world for us. And
so if you aren't a Democrat calling for the end
of ice and justice for their victims, if you ever
get back into power, what is the fucking point?

Speaker 1 (26:08):
So I don't know, in the threat of primarying, I
feel like just needs to be so what could be
so much more of an efficient tool where because that's
why they're not doing it. They want to stay in office,
you know. And it's like, well, now you also still
may not be you know, in office. We can still
get a fucking you know, progressive candidate in there, yeah,
to replace, you know, because you're not fucking doing anything.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
So what's great is the bar solow Like fucking anyone
could be like, dude, I've never ran for office, but
like these people suck and like life can be so
much better. And people be like, yeah, what whatever that
fucking regular guy is saying, I don't care. What they
found is yeah, yeah, my vote. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
It's so funny that like the one of the one
of like the only moments of hope or optimism for
the Democratic Party is Zoran in New York City, Like
and how he and not just him, but how the
voters turned out and said, no, we don't want uh
whatever his name was, we don't want this part of
this political dynasty that already existed and part of this

(27:05):
whole thing. And it's just so funny like watching that
from LA and I was actually in New York the
week of the election, and it like there was just
like there was just like this feeling and like, will
we'll reality said it in a lot of ways, yes,
of course, but he's clearly doing what a mayor should do.
He's like saying, I'm gonna do this. He shows the

(27:26):
video and then it's like he goes out and does it,
and I was like, God, I wonder you know it
is it seems like obviously there's an avenue for these
types of things and these types of people to jump
up in primary. And then I was like, god, I
wonder if we'll get that in LA. And it's like,
the best we can do is Spencer Pratt, Right, we
got Spencer Prade.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
There's also, like, you know, there's definitely some real progressives
that are getting into the race. There's like ray Chen
Wong who's like a housing advocate. There's like other people
who are slowly you know, that's good like fucking Spencer Pratt,
are you fucking serious? What theff are you talking about?
So again, I think I think what Zoron's candidacy has
done was show people, if not the Democratic Party, but

(28:07):
other progressives and people who are to the left of
the Democratic Party be like, oh, yeah, there's a way
to do this and you can avoid all the quote
unquote thorny things Democrats don't want to talk about by
focusing truly on like these kitchen table dinner take dining
table issues, like literally what does it cost to eat
the food on your dining table right now? Type of shit. So,

(28:30):
I again, there's a there's a huge moment and we're
like very much in this like transitional period where a
lot is going to be determined by who we put
into power, if they're even going to be able to
hold these people to account, because I think the lesson
that Democrats have failed to learn is that if you

(28:51):
get control back, you need to hold all of these
fucking people to account. There's no more like, oh, you know,
they're good guy, and like you know, it's like there
and their heart was good. No, these people are all
engaged in criminal fucking conduct and things that are disqualifying
at a minimum from being in politics, but really you

(29:11):
should also be seeking justice for the countless people who
have been victimized.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
So and that's see that's interesting too because that is
a sentiment that like that's a bipartisan sentiment because on
the other side, whatever sides, whatever spectrum, they're like, you
know x Twitter is like such a cesspool for like
the right now. Yeah, and it's like that side is

(29:37):
bad that that people aren't getting held accountable too, And
so it's like where is all that energy gonna go?
Like that that like is it going to be like
is it gonna come down to like this weird like
moment in America where it's like a real test of
the individual versus the system or something like that. I
don't know, but to me, I'm just like it really

(29:59):
seems it really seemed like at a certain point six
years ago or something, it's like okay, like the mainstream
Democratic Party, like are they just trying to lose? Like
are they like is that is that the plant is
the plan to like be there's and be able to
raise money on this stuff, but like not when they

(30:20):
capitulated on the shutdown, I was like, these people are helpless.
The only time they ever had anything, any sort of momentum,
any sort of like Okay, we're in control, they literally
give it away, and I'm.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Just like, what are you people do we I think
that because at the end of the day, it's like
it's not that they're trying to lose. It's like seeing
like imagine like you heard about like it's like, oh,
Michael Jordan's kid is gonna play basketball or whatever. You're like, oh, fuck,
they must be really good, and then you see him
and they suck, and they like are they trying to
lose because in your mind, you're going that it's Michael
Jordan's right, right, first, that kid's got to be maybe

(30:57):
he's fucking around, But then you have to get to
the point like, yeah, maybe the guy fucking just sucks
at basketball no matter what the association is. And I
think the same thing with you know, democrats, it's like,
are they trying to like no, no, no, no, dude,
you're giving him too much credit to think that's by design.
I mean, obviously there's a whole concept of controlled opposition
and how they are Clearly they're also backed the oligarchy,

(31:18):
but they also fucking suck at this shit, like truly
have no idea how to read a room, have no
idea how to check the fucking pulse of like regular
people in the country because they own they're so insulated,
like you know, socioeconomically, that they're Again I always say this,
I don't think. I think the poorest person, like an
elected democrat knows is maybe like one of the people

(31:42):
they hire to work for them, like like a like
a housekeeper or something. And even then are they talking
to them? Do they are they friends with anyone? I
don't think so, Like they don't know people actively who
are in their lives. You're like, god, damn bro, like it.
Shit is so hard for these people. Shit is so
hard for my friends. Right now. There's we're living in
a dying country and no one's doing anything. I think

(32:04):
all those blind spots come together and you get this
kind of shit where they're like, well, look, I'm gonna
say we're against the bill, but like, hey, guys, if
you need to vote for more more ice funding, then
you go ahead and do that so you can stay
in office.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
And I feel like they're just waiting for the pendulum
to swing. They're doing nothing to actually take the situation
where it's like, well, we'll have a president there in
like eight twelve, sixteen years at some point, like at
some point we will just stumble into a Democratic president.
It will stumble into winning a midterm or two. And
they're doing absolutely nothing and they're like there's no momentum,

(32:41):
and any momentum that's like you know, created by like
Zor Run, it's like they're now shit. Like they're also
like undermining him. Yeah, and every obviously similar to what
they did with like Bernie Sanders. They're just it's just
so self destructive. They just want to sit and not
do anything and wait for it to come to that.
I mean, I think that's why it's like not happening.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
The Democratic Party brand is as dead as the fucking
US brand right now, in my opinion. And I think
that's like the other thing is until something can take
its place, it's just going to be you know, nonsense.
And yeah, like Victor, just producer Victor was saying like yeah,
like and promoting people like Gavin Newsom, who goes, I'm
Ben Shapiro Show, and he's like, yeah, I don't know
if there's a genocide in Israel. Uh, you know what

(33:20):
I mean. And also like I'm anti worker, anti unhoused,
anti fucking humanity.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
But anyway, I got douchebag. Yeah, that's the best part
of me. I'm a douchebag. But I'm also anti douchebag
the way I go ahead toe to toe with Trump.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
So you see.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
And it's also it's like, look, I love California. I
live here. It's like the rest of the country, they're
not that guy. Not now, Like I'm not saying that
it's totally impossible, but it's like, there's gonna be so
much money is going to be wasted on his presidential run.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because millionaires.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
Yeah, maybe he can win the maybe he'll win the
Democrat Democratic nomination. I don't even really know about that.
But there's no way he would be I don't think
there's any any way he beats any Republican just in general.
But I don't know I could. I mean again, two,
it does the times I have been like to where
I'm from, which is very conservative in Florida, there is

(34:17):
a feeling of like it's it's it's getting out of
control for those people, even like because it's just the
type of thing where it's like, you know, we see
like the same video goes out and people react to
it differently, but still most I think it's something crazy.
It's like it's like seventy percent of the country is
like right now, like whoa, yeah, Like that's a that's

(34:40):
a big, big, big number. So so I don't know, but.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Wild times even wilder. Last week's just the last couple
of weeks, Candice Owens has been just just a thorn
in turning Point USA side.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
I love her.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
She's a grifter to the max. She's a friend of
the show. Oh Candice and the friends of the show. Yeah.
She she's been like saying some shit. This is only
it's gotten to the point I'm like, oh god, why
am I paying attention to Candice Owns right now? Because
she's saying shit. She's had all these conspiracy theories about
Charlie Kirk's death, all this other stuff, and it's gotten

(35:16):
to the because her saying all this wacky shit about
like these like Egyptian planes. There's like all these I
don't even know if half these fucking theories are.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
It's just based on the conspiracy stuff and that like whole.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, just how it Yeah, and it's a lot of
like anti semitism, it's like everything that it's all there.
But again, it was it was like giving her numbers
she hadn't seen in a long time. And when you're
a political grifter, you got to chase the dragon baby,
even if that takes you to fucking crazy town. So
let's unveil Candace Own's latest take, or not latest, but

(35:47):
last week UH talking more about how Charlie Kirk was.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
Don and so he was pulled out of regular glue
was attending and he had to go to some special
school for the gifted, like was next man. He said
he thought he was a time traveler. He went to
a special school. And yeah, it's it's very interesting that
these programs existed. I honestly think I was spared. So

(36:12):
interesting to hear you say they wanted to transfer you
to UH Academy because the same thing happened to me.
I took the test. It was third grade, I remember,
and all the kids got their state test exams back in.
Mine was late and I was sitting in Miss ballist
Rairi's class, and then they brought my mom in and
they were like, you know, Candace.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Got the worst score of anyone in this are you Okay?
So she goes on.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
All of her answers are about some boy named Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
I'm a time traveler. I'm a time traveler. Ma, who's
she talking about? This whole anecdote goes on to talk
about how she like she knew it was weird, so
she pretended to be dumb so she didn't have to
go to X Men school. Like, okay, here's another compilation
more of the story where again I was saying, like
I'm not joking, like she's talking about like the sentinels

(37:08):
from fucking X Men.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
Now, they decided that they could send him to this
X Men school at the future, the dark future that
everyone's always predicting, like the AI future, it's here, We're
actually here. I think that we are fighting machines. I
think that these people are not humans, that they're sentinels
that maybe look like humans.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
That oh, manny, guys, you know what you know it?
Because did you see like she she posted like the
actual text message screenshot of like where I forget he
said she said she thought she was a timeshower he did,
and then they just kind of rifted on that, and

(37:50):
to me, I'm like, I like reading there back and forth.
I'm like, and you know, every a lot of people
are like, oh were they like did she like him
or whatever? But to me, I'm just like, it's like
when like it's it kind of runs you like drama kids,
like drama kids in high school when they like, when
you get a bunch of group of drama kids together,

(38:11):
they just start like saying crazy stuff right right right,
and they're and they're like and then they're like, let's
stay up all night and like just be weird. Like
that's what that's like, that's what that we like there
their relationship to that where they're like they're they're in
the Republican Party. They're the most normal goobers ever, but
when they get out their little text trade, they're like,

(38:31):
we're so weird, right, We're so different than everybody else.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Such fucking x man. Okay, I'm a roll Roman roe.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
Okay, remember when I gave a silly name at Starbucks?

Speaker 3 (38:46):
So crazy you're crazy? Oh yeah, it's it's the me.
I love her, She's crazy. They're like, you put chips
on their head?

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Yeah yeah, yeah, so yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
I mean I think this is a combination of being
so online you give them to lose your rip on
reality because it's also somehow giving you money. You're like, well,
this can't be bad.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Also when you keep chasing the grift further downward, like again,
like you said, she kept going with these videos because
it was getting her way more fucking views, way more
ad money. So she kept fucking doubling and tripling down
to the point where she went, well, she like ran
out of anti Semitism stuff to talk about and had

(39:25):
to go to x Men, which is really I don't
know if that's the mark of a creative grifter or something,
but like also it's like, lady, you just you went
way go ahead, Yeah, have fun, man, everyone's a fucking
x men. But she just got like I said, she
got hit with a legal notice from Turning Point. So
I think her latest videos are now like just completely
pivoted to like the Beckham family drama and some other

(39:49):
shit like that. So yeah, it's a safer subject for her. Well,
I mean, it's the one thing grifters do respect is
like the courts can take a lot away from you usually.
But I don't know if she's ter.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
Reports said, Uh, Victoria Beckham was some sort of spice girl.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
She all the way. Yeah, so no, yeah, no, fucking
like you no speculations.

Speaker 3 (40:17):
For other women. They were they were all these they
were spice girls.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
Check this out. And they each had a specific attribute
so one alas one was scary, okay, one was sporty,
one was a baby okay oneil one was merely ginger.
Yeah yeah, yeah, it was rich, Like what's baby spice like?

(40:45):
I don't know, prematurely, that sounds like a fucking thing
like you would have seen it like one of those
joke hot sauce stands on a boardwalk in the nineties,
like hey when we got baby spiced? Uh, you know,
turn up your next racka ribs Uh heard you with
some kind of a spice girl or X man if

(41:05):
you believe it. All right, let's take a quick break.
We'll be right back to talk about a movie that
we're all not looking forward to right after this and
we're back. So January not typically known for its hot

(41:29):
new movie releases. In fact, I think it's usually like
the movie Graveyard is around now in February. So color
me shocked when I found out that the new Chris
Pratt thriller Mercy is dropping today I had no fucking
idea this was a movie until about thirty five minutes ago.

(41:50):
And now as we do a little bit of a
dive into it and the story that jam wrote for us,
we just watched the trailer for this movie, and let
me just I'll just give you the sort of like
the quick logleyce head. In twenty twenty nine, Pratt plays
LAPD officer Chris Raven Okay, his name is still Chris,
thank god, who was accused of murdering his wife. His
trial involves being strapped to an electric chair for ninety

(42:12):
minutes and arguing his case in front of an AI
judge played by Rebecca Ferguson. If he doesn't quote present
evidence that nudges the probability of guilt below ninety two
percent in the allotted time, he will be fucking electrocuted
to death executed, which sounds like, uh sounds like it
sounds like a real boring I'm from what I saw

(42:34):
on the trailer. He's sitting in a chair the whole time.
But what is cool that we do find out is
that in order to prove his innocence, he gets to
search all of the available data on Earth. Basically it's
like every camera, every text message, fucking anything to prove
his innocence. But he is strapped to the chair and

(42:55):
he can even phone friends like fucking who wants to
be a millionaire? Like he can. He reached out to
his teenage daughter to proclaim his innocence, to his AA
sponsor and friend in search for answers, and even to
his police partner to helped track down the real murderer.
A few critics have said these are some of the
Hellines quotes. It's early in the year, but this Chris
Pratt dud may just be the worst movie of twenty

(43:15):
twenty six. Another one the Daily Beast, the worst movie
of twenty twenty six is here and it's only January.
Here's the fun bit it was. It was directed by
timour Beck Mambatov, who is the guy who produced that
ice cube War of the World's movie on Amazon. Oh Wow,
which is another fucking movie. Remind me about a dude

(43:36):
sitting in a fucking chair looking at computer screens for
an hour and a half, Like, is this his new thing?

Speaker 1 (43:42):
It's a new genre. It's man in room looking at
screens and it's manchare man in sare.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
Do you guys remember this is a long time ago,
but there was a really short lived This is like
in the wake of maybe Who Wants to Be a
Millionaire or whatever, like crazy game show The Chamber. I
think there was a one called literally the Chair and
like you sit in a chair, and I just remember like,
and I think they ask you questions and like but

(44:10):
they're like they're doing sort of scary like so like
they make it really hot.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
And it was the Chair, Yeah, And I just remember there's.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
Like, I think one of the pictures, one of the
commercials for it was like they're like, what's your biggest fear?
And she's like alligators and then it's just like an
alligator like on a swing, is like swinging towards this
lady in a chair, and it's just like, okay, well,
let's give be We made like the thirty rock version
movie of that game show into a reality.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
I remember that was like at the peak absurdity of
the Fox game shows. Like yeah, yeah, they did like
Man Versus Beast around that time too. How many little
people would it take to beat an elephant in a
tug of war? And you're like, dude, way more than
what you casted. I'm sorry they got fucking wrecked immediately,
or like other ones are, like they had Kobayashi trying

(44:59):
hot dogs, a Mayor classic, so I love I remember.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
Him like it was saying bolt like riding against a
cheetah or like a zebra or something like that, like, yeah,
there's just like racing animals.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
Was it also hosted by John McEnroe. If it wasn't,
what a what a missed off? I think? Yeah, John, dude, Okay,
look at this clip, get mac and roe out of
the boot. I remember there's one where like because you're
just getting distracted in this chair asking being simple Ei.
There there's like one clip I remember seeing where the
chair is vibrating so much that I couldn't even think

(45:33):
he's like the vibrations. They're like, sir, how many stripes
on an American? The chair? The vibrations? Vibrations? A fucking
game show? Is this?

Speaker 3 (45:45):
You know?

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Here's a clip that show is actually called The Sippy's
Back and Row got dolls. That's the chair right right,
it's gonna drop another five percent. And Doug, if you
redline now you lose two hundred dollars a second. I'm

(46:06):
there's the vibrations. Okay, anyway, the show was absolutely dumb.
But yeah, you're glad.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
I'm so glad someone's clipping that it put it a
YouTube vid.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
Peo will clip the fuck out of those.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
I was always like, dude, you remember man Verse Beast
like some of my friends in high school and they're
like what, and like, we fucking watched it at my house, dude,
we got together to watch this shit. There are plenty
of there's dude, there are so many cups of the chair.
Oh no, this was ABC. I'm sorry, I'm sorry ABC.
I didn't even come to it with a terrible Fox.
But this was that same era. Nothing mattered. I think

(46:42):
this is like, was this post nine to eleven? I think, yeah,
this feels very post nine to eleven.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
Anyways, right Cannon, Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly, uh yeah two
thousand and two, yep, exactly.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
We had to put our greatest minds into that. So anyway,
this movie honestly less interesting and even watching old clips
of the game show hosted by because for some reason
this also, this movie is being released in three D
and imax. Oh good, a fucking movie about a guy
strapped to a chair and be like us make the

(47:16):
line go down. What a fucking just an abomination? Well
you says this is a tax right off.

Speaker 3 (47:23):
You got to see it in theaters too, because then
you're also in a chair and so you're kind of
in the stadium.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
Yeah, you're kind of held hostage by this situation.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
And you might, you might, you might die after night. Yeah,
advanced sales. Look, it comes out today, so maybe things
could change. But just from today's looking at the advanced sales,
uh empty, Yeah, but you can see wherever you want
chair prognosticators, forecasters sake what. It may not even reach

(47:55):
double digits at the box office.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
Sever the silver lining of this awful movie is like,
maybe we finally reached peak Chris Pratt peak Pratt pratoration. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
and we'll kind of get to move on.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
Yeah, the pratissants may be over for the man who's
just been prattling along for so long. This is really
funny though. Chris Pratt really took this seriously. He was
during the media fucking campaign for this, he was selling people.
He almost went method for the role, and he's like, almost,
what do you mean almost? He said quote I told
the director to lock me in the chair for real

(48:31):
for up to fifty minutes at a time. WHOA, so yeah, dude,
Jackie Chan, you may do your own stunts. Chris Pratt
does his own sitting, So hold that shits. This is
what he said how he asked the director to put
him in the chair for the in the chair for
real quote. I thought this would help lend itself to
the performance and feelings of claustrophobia, being trapped. I was sweating,

(48:52):
so if my face itched, I couldn't scratch it and
I couldn't get up. I'm always eager to try new things,
to be challenged in different ways, and maybe give audiences
something they might not expect from me, like sitting in
a chair.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
So sitting in a chair, you know, you know what
they should be standing. That's not all me. That's not
all I do. I contained my legs. Yeah, the bed
is going to be compelling.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
They should have made the chair like a character of
and of itself, and the chair should have had like
a sort of like gruff, sort of like snarky attitude,
or the chair be like, hey, why don't I try
Why don't I try sitting on your ass for a change,
or something like that. Yeah, come on, come on, chair.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
My guilt probability is hovering right at ninety two point
one percent. If we can get it below two tenths,
we're out of here. I don't know, buddy. What I
know for sure is you're guilty of stinking. Come on
a chair. I don't go to your work if farting
your mouth. Okay, movie, I don't know. It's better than

(49:58):
what we just saw. To your blake. We watched the trailer.
It basically sums up the whole film, which is how
you know it's bad. Also, they're like, look, dude, here
it is no surprises to check it out. Maybe I
don't know. I don't know. The other thing, though, too,
is that Pratt also said their role was quote a
real departure from me because he's quote a homicide detective

(50:21):
in the near future. Oh, that's definitely a departure because
if I don't know, if you noticed, Chris Pride is
not a homicide direct detective in the near future right now?
So range range range the other thing, and also his
the character is called Chris. What the fuck I think
he doesn't have that much range.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Yeah, if you give.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
A different first name but have no idea if you're
talking detectives.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
To Chris, detective detective Chris.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
Chris, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this fucking chair.

Speaker 6 (50:57):
I tell you no, no, hold on, hold on, even
said action, you just start that that's not the chair.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
You're just in your green room.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Ye's the chair A method. I told you, I tell
you so. The other thing, though, too, is the thing
about the AI judge, Like the movie could have maybe
said something about the rush to adopt AI or even
it's weird ass mischaracterization of like, well, crime's out of control. Therefore,
we just need computers to do summary executions of people

(51:29):
like we've already have, like we've seen, we've talked about
on the show, like dumb ass legal proceedings that have
used AI, or like people trying to use like AI,
like deep fake lawyers and shit. There's a lot you
could say here. But again, the fucking message apparently is
that like even though this thing's like I'm innocent and
you almost fucking killed me, the message is like pro

(51:52):
AI and like they're sort of like, hey man, human
and AI, we're pretty similar, huh, And that we both
are fucking dumb and useless.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
We're both bad at our jobs.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Yeah, yeah, and love chairs. Call it a push. Let's
call it a push. All right, great, great, thanks, I'm
Chris anyway, so uh that gang. Let me know if
you even if you maybe do a if you're theater
hopping and you happen to go in there, or maybe
it's too scary because no one's in the theater, because
that is kind of an upsetting way to watch a movie.
I'm not every time I've been in a theater when

(52:23):
it's like a big theater and it's kind of empty,
it's not I'm not one of those people's like I
love it. I'm a little bit like what the fuck?

Speaker 7 (52:30):

Leftovers or some shit. One of the best shows ever

Speaker 2 (54:56):
My fascist gritty is Yeah, they say that be so
funny to see that coming out of the Philadelphia Flyers.
I mean it might happen because the apparently Philadelphia might
be getting paid a visit by the people who are
trying to start a civil war. Oh boy, is that
gonna be a I don't know if you know anything
about Philadelphia. People in the streets of Philadelphia generally, like

(55:18):
Minnesotans are polite across the board, but they stand up
for themselves, Philly people.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
When we won the Super Bowl, we flipped cars and
someone ate horseshit off the ground because they didn't know
what to do.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
So yeah, by all means.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
Bring a terrorist and domestic terrorist organization to invade the city.

the monk to you, God, God, what a fucking time.
Anything else though, Oh sorry, so what was gritty saying?
Oh so gritty?

Speaker 1 (55:55):
Film the video there was a guy in the stands
who had a prosthetic leg and filled it up with
a beer and shoved the beer out of it with grace.
So yeah, it's it's it's good, clean fun, it's great.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
Just go to the page. Watch. Yeah, you'll smile to
fill your prostheses with with the survey so as if
you will, and down it for your for your fellow man.
You can find me everywhere at miles of Gray. A
couple just posts on Blue Sky. They're more not funny
it just kind of you know, relevant, uh hc richardson

(56:26):
Dot best Guy's Social post it whatever's in the Epstein
files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department
of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to
keep us from seeing it. Just a reminder amongst all
the other stuff flying around. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Good to remember, good to remember.

Speaker 6 (56:40):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
And then another fun from Anna Marie Cox beskuy dot
social just you know, someone on the ground in Minnesota
just said, I quote, I know people keep saying this,
but it's hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here.
Like I'm on random cafes, Like I'm in random cafes,
and people are checking in for observation ship signs everywhere,

(57:01):
for folks in visibility vests on the corners. It's wild,
absolutely wild. I mean I've even seen things where people
who don't want to go outside, the second they look
out their window and they see ice agents, they set
off the car like uh, like a like emergency button remotely,
So then all the cars on the streets to start
honking horns and shit again if people are going that far.

(57:21):
Hakeem Jeffries I don't know what to expect. But anyway,
maybe whip up a few goos. Yeah, maybe do something, dude,
maybe not. I don't know, but to be honest, we don't.
Our expectations go further and further lower. And again that's
why I think this. I saw one democratic like operative
be like, you know, Democrats really have to be careful,
like in terms of like losing more faith in the party.

(57:43):
There are people in the streets of Minnesota, Minnesota or
Minneapolis saying, who, like who keeps us safe? We keep
us safe? Like they aren't. They're moving on from thinking
that we do anything you fucking think anyway. You can
find us everywhere at daily zeke ICs. Like I said
